Latest work

I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my latest work and ideas:)

My mom came to visit me last month so I`ve decided to take full advantage of her sewing knowledge and experience. I`ve wanted to start sewing for a long time, but plans were always set back by the challenge of choosing the right sewing machine or by the abundance of ideas:)

All went away when I`ve found a sewing machine in the street, took it home and repaired it; works like new and turned out to be perfect for beginners:)

As I was dreaming for a long time of sewing canvas bags, all it took was a quick ride to Ikea to by some beautiful fabrics to get me started.

It turned out not to be such a difficult project as I expected it to be. So I`ve changed the shape for the next bag, but this second one proved even easier to sew. It is made out of a former couch pillow case that I got on sale at Ikea, as the set was incomplete.

Was actually an easy peasy project, with me only adding the details, making the straps and sewing the inner part.

Made it with a scrap of canvas that I`ve had laying around for ages. It has a beautiful, forest theme, tree like patterns that I thought would go perfectly with some fabric buttons I`ve recently got on Etsy.

Well, I think you are a natural talent! The first bags are an easy project for beginners and you mastered beautifully- but the second bag looks already very sophisticated- well done!!!I have an old sewing machine myself and apart from some minor things she works perfect.
